This healthy Cookie Dough Brownie Baked Oatmeal is the ultimate decadent dessert for breakfast, you won’t believe that it’s made with real ingredients! It’s also gluten-free, high protein and has a vegan option!

Let’s talk about the most important meal of the day, AKA the best meal of the day, breakfast.

It’s no secret that we are HUGE fans of breakfast, just look at most of our recipes. We are trying to incorporate more “non-breakfast” recipes for you in this blog but, we don’t plan on stopping breakfast recipes anytime soon!

Now, when we do breakfast, we go (mostly) go the sweet/dessert-like route, and we go hard, especially when it comes to oatmeal. Out of our top 10 most popular recipes, over 1/2 of them contain oats. Some of these that are on the list are this glorious Breakfast Pizza, this cake-like oatmeal and cookie monster’s favorite granola!

Now let’s get on to this new oatmeal recipe which has to be our new favorite to-date because, guilt-free cookie dough and brownies for breakfast! I don’t think that you could get any better than that. It all starts a dense and fudgey brownie baked oatmeal layer made with dark cocoa powder for extra richness.

You could totally use regular cocoa powder but it won’t be as rich and chocolately. This baked oatmeal wouldn’t be complete with out the cookie dough frosting which comes from Arman at The Big Man’s World and his genius Classic Cookie Dough Dip! Arman’s cookie dough dip makes the perfect frosting for this brownie baked oatmeal!

You won’t believe that this Cookie Dough Brownie Baked Oatmeal is completely gluten-free, nutritious, and taste like dessert all in one!

There’s not much else to say about this, you just need to make it right now!

Can you believe that this recipe was published over two years ago? It was about dang time to recreate it, as it’s one of our most popular recipes!

*Post and Pictures updated 8/01/17*

You know those certain foods that you just can’t live without? Somedays you tell yourself, “enough is enough” but you always seem to come back for more. Yep, thats the relationship I have with peanut butter.

I LOVE all kinds and flavors and theres not a day that goes by where its not in my daily diet! I usually go for the natural stuff, but when PB Crave was kind enough to send me their 4 awesome flavors of peanut butter, I shifted my tastebuds to a sweeter, dessert-like spread. Let me tell ya something, there is a reason why its called PB crave, because you literally want to slather it on anything! They have four delicious flavors:

Razzle Dazzle: A twisted blend of red raspberry flavor, wild honey, white cocoa powder and dark chocolate! (AKA dessert in a jar!)

Coco Bananas: A tropical blend of yummy banana flavor, cocoa and wild honey! (pb +banana+chocolate=heaven!)

Cookie Nookie: a mouth-watering mix of chocolate chips, cookie dough and wild honey! (better than cookie butter!)

Choco-choco: a delicious double dose of semi-sweet, rich dark chocolate and wild honey! (you can’t go wrong with this combo!)

Healthy Cookie Dough Granola

Crunchy, sweet chunks of granola are studded with chocolate chips, flaxseeds, chia seeds and sunflower seeds to create the best homemade cereal! Who wouldn’t want their breakfast to taste like cookie dough and be guilt-free at the same time?

Chocolate Cream Larabar Cookie Cups

August 3, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 1 Comment

I am always in need of an afternoon pick-me-up snack, and protein or granola bars seem to do the trick. However, the ones that I used to eat were dubbed “healthy” but actually contained artificial ingredients and a trans-fatty chocolate coating. How did I not know these had the nutritional values of a candy bar? Luckily I was fortunate enough to receive a few flavors of the amazing larabars! They contain no artificial ingredients and taste like heaven! They are non-gmo, gluten-free and nutrient dense. They contain only a few ingredients, and I can pronounce them all! Replace them as your new go-to snack. I promise they will keep you full and give you energy until your next meal. My favorite flavors are chocolate chip cookie dough and blueberry muffin, but I am sure they are all delicious!

Chocolate Cream Larabar Cookie Cups

1 chocolate chip cookie dough larabar
2 Tbsp. cashews, soaked in water for atleast one hour
1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 tsp. coconut oil
1/2 tsp. agave nectar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray cooking spray into two mini muffin cups . Split bar in half and press each half into muffin tin until it covers the sides of the cup. Bake for 12 minutes, or until cups are golden.
In a food processor, combine drained cashews, cocoa powder, oil and agave. Blend until mixture is smooth.
Take out cookie cups from tin and spoon in cashew mixture,
Enjoy!
